Advanced Eye Disease Treatment at Indian Creek Family Eye Care
Using the latest diagnostic technologies, we identify eye diseases at their onset, when they are most treatable. Our Hood River team works closely with each patient to develop personalized treatment strategies, allowing us to preserve and enhance vision through ongoing support and monitoring.
Detection & Treatment of Various Ocular Diseases in Hood River
Early Detection and Management of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is often caused by elevated intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss and blindness if not treated early. This condition often presents no early symptoms, making regular eye exams essential for preserving vision. To decrease eye pressure, we offer medication and may recommend other treatments like laser therapy or surgical options for more advanced cases.
Cataract Co-Management Services
Our cataract co-management services embody our commitment to delivering seamless, comprehensive care throughout the entire cataract treatment process. From the initial diagnosis to the postoperative recovery, we collaborate closely with esteemed eye surgeons to ensure each step of your journey toward clearer vision is meticulously planned and executed. Our approach emphasizes continuity of care, ensuring that the same high standards of personalized attention and medical excellence guide you before, during, and after your cataract surgery.
Navigating Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a common eye disease among older adults that’s caused by the central part of the retina (the macula) deteriorating over time. Early detection through eye exams is key to managing this condition and slowing its progression. Treatment options include lifestyle adjustments, nutritional counseling, and the latest therapeutic interventions.
Comprehensive Care for Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy, a serious complication of diabetes, necessitates ongoing management to safeguard the health of the retina and preserve vision. This condition, characterized by damage to the eye's blood vessels, can cause irreversible vision loss if not appropriately managed.
Regular and comprehensive monitoring is crucial for early detection, enabling timely intervention that can slow its progression. Management strategies include glycemic control, lifestyle modifications, and, when necessary, specific treatments such as laser therapy, corticosteroids or anti-VEGF agents injections, or surgery in more advanced cases.
